Yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow

Once again I am heading on a giant road trip across the country, but this one is new and improved - now featuring parents!

What does the addition of parents bring? Well first off, there’s the authentic giant minivan filled with stuff. I’ve managed to carve out a niche for Tippy and me in the back, but that’s about it. I’m pretty sure that five years from now I’ll finally find the stash of ketchup packets I hid somewhere today. Parents also means extra stops for bathroom breaks. If we keep on this pace, I’m confident we will arrive in Milwaukee in time for Halloween, which means we’ll have a couple days before we have to turn around and head back to Tucson for the winter. On the plus side, I’ll have a deep knowledge of every gas station and rest stop West of the Mississippi. Really, it’s fine because what parents really mean is I can type blog posts while they drive, so at least that’s nice.

TheiPod has been getting a heavy workout today. So here are a few one sentence reviews of albums I’ve listened to so far. Any of the artists mentioned to feel free to use them as pull quotes on their websites:

We went on a little side trip to the Very Large Array in New Mexico. It's a giant framework (or array) of radio telescopes and it's all very scientific. What's most important to me is it's picturesque. It's like I'm in a science fiction novel!

Dude, I emailed all this all this info to your wife. Maybe if you ever spoke to her you'd know that. I'm not a marriage counselor or anything, but that's my suggestion.

I'l; be in Milwaukee for a few days then heading to Cincy for a week to move out of my place. I'll officially be in Milwaukee at the beginning of May at which point I will be at your apartment every weekend and some weeknights. I hope you're prepared.

About Me

I'm not British and I generally have a sunny disposition so the name of my blog doesn't apply to me personally. It's just about the music I like. I'm currently working my way through all the albums in my iPod so I can come to terms with the music I own.
Also, I have a cat named Tippy. He's a dandy.
